The Boy Scout store is Scoutstuff.org. You do not have to be a scout to order from them.

The new edition of the boy scout handbook just came out, but you can still buy the old (11th edition) at a reduced price ($3.88). If you are not a scout and worried about any changes in scout rank requirements, don't waste your money on the newer version.

There is good info in the handbook, but a lot of it is about Scout ranks and advancement. But at $3.88 it contains a lot of useful info.

The Scout Fieldbook is a better resource for outdoor info.

If you are going to place an order also check out Knots and How to Tie Them. It is just a 32 page black & white booklet, but at $1.49 it is handly.

You can get all three with shipping for <$20, and they probably contain more info that you can really use than many of the survival books.
